Crowdero

One of the rabble leaders encountered by Hudibras at a
bear-baiting. The original of this character was one Jackson or
Jephson, a milliner, who lived in the New Exchange, Strand. He lost a
leg in the service of the Roundheads, and was reduced to the necessity
of fiddling from alehouse to alehouse for his daily bread. The word
means fiddler. (See above, Crowd.)
